Since they are your children the following tests for a qualifying child must be passed:
- The child can be your son, daughter, stepchild, eligible foster child, brother, sister, half-brother, half-sister, stepbrother, stepsister, adopted child or an offspring of any of them.
- Your child must be under age 19 or, if a full-time student, under age 24. There's no age limit if your child is permanently and totally disabled.
- Your child must live with you for more than half the year, but several exceptions apply.
- Your child may have a job, but they cannot provide more than half of their own support.
It all will come down also to what type of credits/deductions you qualify for based on your tax situation. Each credit and deduction may have similar tests that will need to be passed.
